Session Guide

• We’ll be discussing basic PR, getting gigs, establishing a presence, music industry etiquette, basic expectations, how to get radio play and other dos and don’ts that will help you develop a presence in the wider region.

Session 2: Standing out and breaking out! (12.10pm – 12.40pm)

• With competition greater than ever, how can you stand out from the crowd?

Session 3: A&R (12:50pm—1:30pm)

• Get your track heard by the panel. Are you brave enough?!
• The panel will give feedback on submitted tracks. They will consider aspects such as:
• Is the quality of the recording good enough to gain airplay? Is there anything that might prevent this particular track getting airplay? Could parts of a track be used for syncing, etc?
• This part of the conference is not about whether a track is good or bad, but it is designed to give the acts feedback from industry professionals on how they might look to develop things as they move forward.

Important note: This is not some sort of grotesque X-Factor style “rate them and slate them” session. The aim of this session is to provide constructive feedback only. Acts who came along last year achieved national radio play off the back of attending this session. If you’re in a local band, this is absolutely unmissable. See you there!

Track submissions for the A & R panel must be sent to the Twisterella team in advance via our contact page.
